<p><span style="font-family:Verdana">Dear Karen,<br>
<br>
The last few weeks - months, really - have been incredible, challenging, exciting and daunting for Jewish Voice for Peace. I just can't think of a time when your support and participation have mattered more to us. So, thank you - and thank you for continuing to stick with us in the months ahead.<br>
<span style="border-collapse:separate"> </span></span></p>
</span><span style="font-size:small"><span style="font-family:Verdana">The biggest news continues to be what happened in New Orleans last week and since.

<span style="font-family:Verdana"> <span style="font-size:small">We knew that this action would be big, but the attention our young leaders and Jewish Voice for Peace have garnered has been overwhelming.
